CROP AM) WEATHER
CONDITIONS OF THE STATE
Atlanta, Ga., June 28, 1922 —Warm
dry weather continued over the great
er portion of the State and was bene
ficial for plant growth; much pro
gress was made in cutivation, and
now fields are grassy only in scatter
ed localities, chiefly in the southern
division, where plants are small and
the crop is late in central and north
ern counties. Gate planting of corn
is generally good elsewhere. Sweet
potatoes continue to make rapid
growth i nail sections. Peaches in
Houston County are reported free
from rot and curculis; the harvest of
Hileys is about half finished. Cane,
peanuts, and melons are growing well
although more sunshine in the south
ern counties would be beneficial to
the last-n'amed crop. Weevil damage
was reduced somewhat during the fair
weather, but corrspondents report
these pests very numerous.
